Breakin' Even

Well it eats away and it do not stop
Gimme one good reason to just fuck off
Cause I don't know when and I don't know how
But I will find the time to excuse myself
Breakin' even on the road
Unforgiven, leavin' home
Breakin' even to make it right
Unforgiven, lonely nights
Well I faced myself and I can't look back
And I recall the moment that heaven died
Cause it taught me somethin' I won't forget
And it's the same old somethin' that guides me now
Breakin' even on the road
Unforgiven, leavin' home
Breakin' even to make it right
Unforgiven, lonely nights
When I let my enemy off the hook
I find a way to forgive myself
But you will not find me abating breath
Expectin' something from someone else
Breakin' even on the road
Unforgiven, leavin' home
Breakin' even to make it right
Unforgiven, lonely nights

Bloody Clothes

I've got the emptiest feeling
I just can't stop whenever it takes me
Float down the streets of the city
Detached from everybody around me
Strange dreams with ominous meanings
Illuminate my nebulous psyche
Sleepwalk delirious evenings
And ambulate back into the crime scene
And ring the bell
I hear it well
And it brings me hell
When I ring that bell
But when you laid your eyes on me
I knew that I had seen an angel
Sweet beautiful creature so angelic and pure
I need a confessor to help me clean away my sin and
I'm not worthy of much love and I'm not worthy of yours
I need a confessor to help me wash away my sin and
Bloody clothes
Bloody clothes
Don't make me beg for forgiveness
Don't make me beg for forgiveness
Don't make me beg for forgiveness
Don't make me beg for forgiveness
I swear with God as my witness
I know that you will be my angel
Sweet beautiful creature so angelic and pure
I need a confessor to help me clean away my sin and
I'm not worthy of much love and I'm not worthy of yours
I need a confessor to help me wash away my sin and
Bloody clothes
Bloody clothes
Bloody clothes
Bloody clothes

Drop Out

Don't got the ability to get my shit together
I'm trying to get what I can from this pleasant weather
I walk down the centre lines of these abandoned back roads
Unwilling to burden myself with the troubles I know
I know that its not an escape
Its not so easy
I know that I've made a mistake
But can you really blame me
There's nothing to possibly gain from watching TV
I told you to turn off the news or I'm fucking leaving
I spent the rest of my day at the bowling alley
Just pumping coin after coin into the Pac-Man machine
I called you just to shoot the shit about nothing at all
We spoke for an hour and a half while I walked through the mall
I'll be damned if I didn't need that like blood in my veins
I've lost sight of all the small things that were keeping me sane
I know that its not an escape
Its not so easy
It might take the rest of my days to
Cure this curse that ails me

Every time you look inside my head
I'm bleeding from the ears again
And every night when I tuck into bed
You fill my dreams with pain and dread
I truly disdain to think of the ways you
Could rearrange the shape of my brain
Cause I really don't need that
I've physically fallen ill and I've psychically lost the will
To even try and fight you back
Oh yeah, oh no
I don't have to tell you cause you know it already
You ain't got no ordinary skill
Yeah all of the doctors and all the kings men
Couldn't piece together all that head
The scan man's dead
The scan man's dead
The scan man's dead whoa
The scan man is dead
The scan man's dead whoa
The scan man is dead
The scan man's dead whoa
The scan man is dead
The scan man's dead whoa
The scan man is dead
Underneath your effervescent skull
Maniacal intentions grow
And dendrites bend and twist to strike a pose
Decidedly unnatural
Deep in the mainframe extension of your brain
You're headed for a system crash but you make it look sexual
I followed you to your home and I burnt you down to the bone
Don't take it so personal
Oh yeah, oh no
I don't have to tell you cause you know it already
You ain't got no ordinary skill
Yeah all of the doctors and all the kings men
Couldn't piece together all that head
The scan man's dead
The scan man's dead
The scan man's dead whoa
The scan man is dead
The scan man's dead whoa
The scan man is dead
The scan man's dead whoa
The scan man is dead
The scan man's dead whoa
The scan man is dead
The scan man's dead whoa
The scan man is dead
The scan man's dead whoa
The scan man is dead

Lover Boy
04:37

You had to crack a smile
You had to break her heart in two
But you know that she'll come round to you
And how could you resist
The governess was good to you
Yeah she won't be comin' round here soon
And at the back of the playhouse
A little ballet girl awaiting for your kiss will swoon
Cause you've got a little gift for her
There you go, lover boy
But nothin' goes like you expected
Jesus Christ I hope that you get just what you need
And so it goes, lover boy
I know you'll get just what you wished for
But Jesus Christ I hope you don't get what you deserve
You're charming to a fault
You'll have 'em all in tears by the end of it
You play this game so easily
But far from a plaything
your lover's electric and changes everything you knew
Who knew love was so hard to do
So you take a loaded gun
And point it at your heart when you're done with it
You watch the blood run out of you
There you go, lover boy
But nothin' goes like you expected
Jesus Christ I hope that you get just what you need
And so it goes, lover boy
I know you'll get just what you wished for
But Jesus Christ I hope you don't get what you deserve
You had to fall in love
You had to throw it in with the worst of them
You know it won't end happily
You had to have a heart
You had a shining soul like the best of them
Damned if I didn't shed a tear for you
And out in the trainyard
Your beautiful nightmare
Is rolling in to set you free
There you go, lover girl
But nothing goes like you expected
Jesus Christ I pray that you get just what you need
And so it goes, lover girl
You never got just what you wished for
But Jesus Christ I pray that you get what you deserve
